Figma is a free, online UI design tool that lets users create, collaborate, and prototype in real time. Social27 allows you to integrate Figma into your Roundtables, Boardrooms and sessions, enabling your event attendees to more effectively connect and exchange ideas.

Tips:

Figma can only be used for meetings that are powered by Social27, as opposed to Zoom, Teams, or other third-party conferencing platforms.
Figma can only be used for sessions that are powered by Social27 Stream.

Enabling Figma

To enable your Figma integration, log in to the Events Builder, click General Settings in the left navigation menu, then Integrations. Find and select the Figma tile in the Available Integrations section and turn on the toggle in the upper right corner of the Figma window.

Once you’ve activated the integration, the Figma tile will appear in the Active Integrations section of the Integrations page, and the Figma details page will show Figma as enabled.

Figma in Meetings

One you’ve turned on Figma, you can start using Figma in your meetings by clicking the ellipses icon at the bottom of the meeting screen.

After clicking Start Figma, a popup will appear asking you to enter a Figma URL.

To find this URL, log into your Figma account, open the prototype you would like to share, and click play. When the prototype loads in a new window, click Share prototype. After setting who can view the link (typically Anyone with the link), click Copy Link, and paste the link into the Soical27 meeting popup.

Once you’ve made your selection, Figma will appear on the meeting screen for all attendees to see.

Note: If the meeting is being recorded, Figma will NOT be included in the recording (although all other meeting audio and video/screen share will).

If you would like to stop using Figma and return to the regular meeting screen, click the ellipses and Stop Figma.
